I think my biggest issue with Gundam Seed is just how many recap episodes there are.

Is it really nessicary to have TWO of them running back to back? And in the middle of the freakin series too.

*CoughGundamWingCough*

Also, I have a question: why do the Gundam Wing Robot damashii's lean more towards the second half of the show? For example, Shenlong and Deathscythe are exclusives, with their upgrades being regular releases. Sandrock and Heavyarms are both based on their minor upgrades from later on, with the original parts sold as an add-on, etc. Why?

I like SEED but can still see the massive flaws it has.

I almost wished Gundam SEED Astray became the main series. From what I've seen, the cast is a million times more likable.

...by doing what, exactly? I'm not super familiar to the stock design.

Astray is the one manga that I'd love to see get the OVA treatment.

It sorta did as five minute shorts:

I'v seen those, but they just make me want more.:lol

Yeah, just from that one short I could tell that the Junk Guild crew with their quirks and their misadventures would've been more fun to watch than the Arch Angel with their soap opera....

Screw that, just make an entire 50 episode series out of all the Astray content.
